Caltrans has started making repairs to damaged Bay Bridge fenders after an incident in which an oil tanker struck a bridge tower. The repair cost is estimated at $2 to $3 million.
The bridge was damaged on Jan. 7 when the tanker, the Overseas Reymar, struck the easternmost pier of the West span. There was no oil spill and no injuries aboard the 752-foot vessel, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.
The fender system worked as it was intended to, and the main pier sustained no damage, according to Caltrans officials.
The Metropolitan Transportation Committee said earlier this month that while there is money in reserve to pay for the damage, it will also try to collect money from the tanker’s owner, OSG Ship
Management Inc.
Repairs to the fenders, which are made of steel and recycled plastic, are expected to take around four and a half months, Caltrans officials said. Caltrans has allocated up to $3 million for the project.

$3 Million isn’t a lot. My income is even higher than that of the repair
Brag about your income all you want to, Brock, and I’m sure you earn every penny of it. But you better start watching those pennies. Obama has declared class warfare and you can no longer rely on paying an already excessive 14% tax on your income. Kowtowing to the takers (see Stockton), he’s trying to chase all of us high-end makers out of the country.

Brock’s neighbor, what the heck is tax?
You know what Brock, I earn even more like $3.5 million every year.
Hey, John and Brock, I earn even more than your incomes all added up, like $10 million a year
I am so sad, I only earn like $6 million. At least, I don’t have to pay all the taxes you successful guys have to.
Judging by the comments, Pleasanton is a pretty rich community. I think might be moving here this summer
